We wanna take a trip up to Dutch Springs this weekend (5-19-07) but were wondering what the water temperature was. I know I spoke with some local scuba club guys and they said that several weeks ago, when they went up, water temps were in the forties, chilly even in a drysuit.

We would be diving in 7mm wetsuits.
 
At depth Dutch is always in the 40s. The surface should be around 50-55 right now. In October, 80 ft was 49 degrees. It is always a hood and glove dive. It is an interesting dive, and vis is good for a quarry. I prefer Willow, closer, less people, worse vis, but I feel more to see. Just my opinion.
